Elena Whitford
Tennis correspondent
Elena Whitford has reported from 27 Grand Slam tournaments and spends around thirty weeks a year on the road with the tours. A former college player at Stanford, she writes about patterns of play, court speed and the scheduling pressures that shape who is fresh in the second week of a major.
Before Sporttho she worked as a broadcast statistician, logging serve placement and rally length by hand from the commentary box. She is based in Barcelona, speaks Spanish and French, and argues at every opportunity that the grass season is too short.
